As you pull into the school (CFHS) on gardner lacy road you lose most bars but u can get some very little scratchy service standing outside. In the school you get no service except for some certin spots.

In my room at sandy beach resort in the palmetto bldg I get "no network coverage" even out on the balcony-nothing! I have to go out into main hallway to make or receive calls In the Magnolia side I get 1 and 2 bar coverage.

Moved here 2005 with Cingular. Had full bars. Now 2010 with ATT and frequently have no reception and mostly only 1 bar.

correction on my comments posted today 8 / 3 / 2010 my zip code is 29579 not 29578 that is for reception on welcome drive plantation lakes

Waited four years for better signal. The new avalon tower was built right next to HTC / AT&T sub station. Which is owned by Verizon. HTC really dropped the ball on this one. There atennas are the lowest on the tower as Verizon is on the top. Lucky to average 1 to 2 bars and 3g usually 0 bars. Calls are being constantly dropped as before. The tower did nothing for our area. The time has come to see Verizon and check there signal and phone plans being there sitting on top of the tower. Shame on HTC you blew the chance to take care of your customers as you had promised. Kudos to Verizon

Reception is very poor. You have to move around outside to get any bars at all. Will now work inside the house, and if it does your calls are dropped. Very spotty around the area.

HTC has been promising that a new tower will be coming for this area because they are aware of this problem for this area of carolia forest. The problem is we have been waiting now for 2 years. Think that it's been long enough.

The reception here is basically terrible, sometimes non-existing. There are some areas around the beach, especially off 501 that are plain late last century. Have spoken with HTC, they seem to have problems getting permission for higher towers. Two year plan, can't wait to get out of it.

NO reception in my home. Traveling through Louisiana, calls went to voice mail. WOrking in NY, voice mail pops up days later. Initial bills I was charged for 4 phones! Took 3 months to get straight. Cell plans are awful. I will be paying the 175.00 to get rid of them

good service in myrtle beach area. and west to. longs,sc only trouble spot I know of. I think cinuglar has what they say: more bars,in more places. !

SunCom's customer service bites, and the call centers are uncooporative. Too bad they have the best plan (Unplan) so they know people won't leave them.

sprint as carrier. dropped calls. texts arrive while in house and calls. calls are broken and hard to hear person. Sprint said my phone 2 years old and not getting good reception. bought Samsung seek and same. not sure if I should change carriers.

no reception at Carolina Willows apartments and no reception at International Dr.- OBMS school. Also, no reception at CFHS school.

Have tried Suncom and hated it because of all the dropped calls or no service. Since switching to Sprint 3 years ago. Not an area in Myrtle Beach or the Grand Strand that has had no signal. The only one I have found is about a 4 mile area on 17 between Georgetown and Charleston.

The reception is great here but the 4g data coverage starting at 62nd ave and north changes to 'edge'.

I love T Mobile's customer service but the reception in an area where I am most of the time is really bad... .frustrating because prices are good and it is a good company. I thought maybe the towers were being blocked by a big building that was recently built, and I called T Mobile maybe 10 times and no change in the towers at all... . so... .I am thinking of switching companies... .maybe a straight talk phone?

I have a Verizon coverage and T-Mobile coverage and both work perfect.

My bars come and go as well as the NO SERVICE message. I can sometimes hear the phone ring but can never answer it at my house. I have to drive ~2 miles away before I can make and receive calls. Text messages sometimes take 20+ minutes to send because of the bad reception inside and outside of my house and in my area. T-Mobile is supposed to be great but it doesn't seem to work at all for me and it's really annoying!

I just spent three days in Myrtle Beach(12 / 26-12 / 28)I received a call on 12 / 26 as I was existing off I95 and the reception was perfect. However, I did not receive a call or text, or able to place a call or text until 1 / 2 mile from I95 - 3 days later on 12 / 28! Went to Verizon while in Horry County and they said my phone was dead. Asked then why I am still receiving e-mails? Solution was to buy a new Blackberry for $250.00 because "sometimes this is how phones die." Has anyone else ever had this problem?

on vacation in Myrtle beach the service is horrible. I heard the city has contracts with at&t
